With a scowl, Duncan ordered Liberty. “Alright.” Liberty gladly obliged. Rising to her feet, Liberty put the food container on the bedside table before helping Duncan to get into a seated position. Duncan had a burly frame. Although he had lost a lot of weight, Duncan still weighed a ton. Liberty had to pick his weight up since Duncan was not even trying. Liberty had spent months recovering from an injury. During her recuperation, Liberty could not do any heavy lighting. Her strength was unlike before. It took a lot of effort for Liberty to prop Duncan up. Duncan was not enjoying any bit of it either. Liberty was not strong enough, and the agony in his legs drained Duncan of any energy. Sure, Duncan intentionally let Liberty do all the lifting in the beginning, but he soon could not wait to sit up. Liberty could barely lift him despite heaving, pulling, and tugging, so Duncan started to work with her. More importantly, Duncan could not stand Liberty getting too cl

Surely, Liberty would leave if Duncan could give her the brush off and throw fits. She would think differently about him. That way, she would have no qualms about marrying another when she met the right person.With that in mind, Duncan vowed to himself to make it happen. So what if Liberty would come by every day to care for him? He had ways to get Liberty to give up on the daily wages of ten thousand dollars and stay away from him. Since it was quiet in the ward, Mrs. Lewis gently pushed the door open to take a peek inside. Her son cocked his head and quietly watched Liberty sleeping in the bed for dependents. Mrs. Lewis believed she made the right call to hire Liberty as her son’s carer. So long as her son was still in love with Liberty, Liberty could get Duncan to eat, sleep, and carry on with physiotherapy. Sensing another presence in the room, Duncan turned to look at his mother. He fell silent for a bit before uttering, “Mom, Liberty mentioned that you hired her for

Mr. Lafayette’s children took his wife’s side. Mr. Lafayette, who did not have the upper hand, was no longer a man of his word. When Elisa heard from Remy about Mr. Lafayette and his wife, she was interested in their story. However, that was Mr. Lafayette’s story. No one would dare to pry into his life unless he spoke about it himself.Elisa and Remy walked into the villa together.Serenity was standing not far away from Remy while she was holding Sonny’s hand. When Remy saw her, he asked Elisa with a smile, “You went to talk business with Serenity, huh?”“Mm. Now that I’ve expanded my investment, business expansion is necessary as well. We probably have to be away on a business trip in a few days. We can’t just target Wiltspoonians.”Serenity and Elisa were both highly ambitious. They planned to expand their business to other cities and towns.Remy immediately put forward a suggestion. “You can go to Annenburg for inspection. Many of our farms are abandoned. Young people go ou

“Your sister…” Mrs. Stone felt that Liberty was always having a rough time in relationships. She bit her tongue mid-sentence.“Mr. Lewis still doesn’t want to meet Liberty?” Mrs. Stone asked concernedly.“He didn’t want to meet Zachary and I when we went to visit him. Zachary texted him, but Duncan didn’t reply or answer any calls. He led himself down a blind alley, always assuming that we’re just taking pity on him.”Mrs. Stone let out a sigh.Elisa and Remy came in while holding hands. After Mrs. Stone took a glimpse of him, Remy let go of Elisa’s hand.His future mother-in-law had yet to accept him. Therefore, he did not want to be intimate with Elisa in front of Mrs. Stone.After Elisa asked Remy to take a seat, she walked away with the bouquet of flowers and put it in a big vase. She also brought the jewelry that Remy gave her into her room.When she headed downstairs, everyone was chatting merrily.It was mainly because of Sonny’s presence. Mrs. Stone was afraid of leadin

“Jim, what did you see just now?” Zachary, who was silent, suddenly asked.Jim answered without hesitation, “I saw Ms. Daniels stroke your palm.”With that, he became conscious of what he had just said. He quickly changed his answer. “No, no, boss. I didn’t see anything. Really, I saw nothing.”Considering Zachary’s brilliance, he could easily win young women’s hearts. In order to avoid trouble, he had been bringing along bodyguards whose main job was to stop young women from approaching him. They did not expect this accident to happen tonight.From the way Ms. Daniels looked at Zachary, she had an ulterior purpose.“From now onward, all young women, except my family, must keep a distance of ten feet from me.”Zachary felt the need to behave like he did back then whereby he made all young women, except his family members, stay ten feet away from him.He thought that everyone was aware of his marriage with Serenity, so no one would have an interest in him.He was wrong.Someo
